CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: REUNION WITH TARAN

No one around?

To Chu Feng’s surprise, for some unknown reason, he didn’t see a single worker’s corpse in the pharmacy. He wondered if they had been lucky enough to escape. Shaking his head in disappointment, Chu Feng went straight to search the other rooms on the first floor.

Several minutes later, Chu Feng safely returned to the lobby on the first floor.

Could it be that those bizarre monsters were all killed by the Exorcist ahead? Chu Feng’s walk around wasn’t without finds. He discovered several corpses in tragic states in a few corners. From their attire and the Exorcism tools in their hands, it was clear they were Exorcists before they died.

Looks like it’s time to check the second floor! Glancing at the still-operational elevator, Chu Feng chose not to use it, instead opting for the stairs next to it. Though Chu Feng wasn’t scared of encountering ghosts in the elevator, being trapped in one would indeed require some effort to escape.

Chu Feng slowly advanced up the dimly lit staircase. The corridor, normally quiet, now felt even darker.

As Chu Feng stepped onto the second-floor corridor, the silence that had enveloped his ears instantly vanished. It was replaced by bizarre howls, bizarre whispering, and the sound of human screams from a distant hospital room, all of which immediately filled Chu Feng’s ears.

"Help! Somebody save me~"

Suddenly hearing a somewhat familiar cry for help coming from a patient room not far to his left, Chu Feng rushed over without a second thought.

BANG!

After another powerful kick, the door to the patient room was knocked to the floor.

As Chu Feng entered the room, a cry of surprise rang out.

"Chu!"

"Miss Taran! Why is it you?"

In the room was the Exorcist hired by Melinda to protect her precious daughter. Miss Taran, who had chestnut-colored short hair, was sitting in the middle of a bizarre Crystal formation. Her somewhat androgynous face was pale as she looked at Chu Feng, who had burst in.

"Chu, be careful!"

The instant the room’s light flickered, Taran screamed in terror.

A twisted shadow instantly appeared in the room. Chu Feng was about to shoot it when he suddenly felt the scene before his eyes being replaced by a bloody murder scene.

Damn it, get out of my head!

With a surge of spiritual power through his mind, the flickering scene before Chu Feng’s eyes instantly shattered, replaced by the twisted figure’s bloody claws reaching for his neck.

"Get off me!"

Chu Feng’s foot, wrapped in Spiritual Power, kicked the twisted figure of the Evil Spirit away.

Before Chu Feng could fire a few more shots at the figure, he suddenly felt a surge of intense malice from behind.

Turning around, he saw a pair of identical twin sisters standing at the door of the patient room. Their mouths curved into the same bizarre smile, identical in every detail.

The two bizarre Evil Spirits didn’t give Chu Feng a chance to react. Both their ghostly white arms swept towards him simultaneously, an evil force directly assailing Chu Feng’s body.

"You bastard, picking quite the moment!"

The Evil Spirit that had just been kicked away hadn’t fled but had teleported next to Chu Feng while he was distracted by the threat from behind.

Alerted by his Spatial Perception (Passive), Chu Feng naturally wouldn’t be so easily ambushed by the Evil Spirit.

With a thought, a burst of golden light instantly surfaced on his skin.

CLANG!

CLANG!

As two consecutive dull thuds emanated from Chu Feng’s body, the attacks of the three Evil Spirits naturally came to nothing.

"You filthy creature, still daring to come at me! I’ll send you straight to Hell!"

Chu Feng’s right hand, wrapped in Spiritual Power, firmly grasped the twisted Evil Spirit’s neck, giving it no chance to escape.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

After a few loud gunshots, the twisted Evil Spirit’s body turned into a pile of slowly drifting ash.

"Two little toys, you’ve played enough, haven’t you!"

Chu Feng, who had endured the attacks from behind for a while using the Golden Light Spell, turned his head and fixed his gaze on the twin sisters who were still tirelessly channeling their power.

As a flash of lightning-like cold light streaked past, the two identical Evil Spirits at the door instantly turned into a handful of ash on the ground.

Indeed, it is a fine blade!

After stroking the Demon Hunting Blade with satisfaction, Chu Feng sheathed it back into the scabbard at his waist.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing three Evil Spirits. You will receive the following rewards:

1. Strength Attribute: 7 points, Physique Attribute: 8 points, Mental Attribute: 6 points, Spiritual Power Attributes: 10 points

2. Lifespan: 7.5 years"

Hmm?

Looking at the rewards notification on the system panel, Chu Feng’s brow furrowed.

System, come out!

"Host, please state your requirements!" The system’s mechanical voice instantly rang in Chu Feng’s mind.

Why such meager attribute rewards for three Evil Spirits?

"Ding! System prompt: Although the twin Evil Spirits are counted as two entities, their combined strength is only equivalent to that of one Evil Spirit."

After hearing the system’s explanation, Chu Feng pursed his lips. Thinking carefully, it seemed the system was indeed correct.

He used all the rewards and then closed the system interface.

"Chu? Are you okay?" Taran, seeing Chu Feng stand motionless after dispatching the Evil Spirits, asked with concern.

"Oh! It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered something."

"That’s good!"

Taran, slumped inside the Crystal Formation, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chu Feng set up a Spirit Trapping Formation with Crystal and salt at the entrance of the hospital room, he returned to Taran’s side.

"Taran, what’s going on with you? Didn’t your group just arrive recently? How did you all end up like this?"

Seeing Taran’s weakened state, Chu Feng was truly puzzled.

"Recently? But our group came in this morning!"

"Wait, you came in this morning?"

Taran’s words made Chu Feng frown deeply. Could it be that Boris, who arrived at the hospital later, also didn’t know about Taran’s group of Exorcists?

"Yes. We were forcibly brought here by a few police officers this morning." Taran looked somewhat perplexed at Chu Feng.

"Taran, have you seen the Exorcists who entered the hospital later?"

"Well, I haven’t met them. But shortly after I was trapped here, I did hear a commotion outside. I even called for help, but no one came!"

After listening to Taran’s words, Chu Feng nodded in understanding.

"Let’s not worry about them for now. Can you still move?"

"I can manage. Although my Spiritual Power is depleted, walking isn’t an issue."

Although Taran was pale from Spiritual Power exhaustion, she still had some mobility.

"Alright, I’ll get you out of the hospital first."

With that, Chu Feng stepped forward to help Taran up. Once she was steady on her feet, he let go.

"Okay, thank you, Chu!"
